Hope you recorded that call! 128GB - size of microSD card that doesn't work in most of my gadgets. In fact 32GB seems to be the most useful size for swappability.

Feathers obviously), ozs; liquid in fl.oz, gills, pints, quarts, gallons. They'd only just stopped doing rods, poles and perches when I was at junior school. It's urban legend material, but I want to believe.

I bought a new 128gb microsd card for my dictaphone (I occasionally have to make recordings for work) because I'd been noticing the smaller volume one that came with it could only store maybe 3 hours of audio which was cutting it fine for my requirements. Obviously it didn't work and I wasted my money (well, ended up putting it in my phone despite it not in any way needing that much storage). Why does this happen? It's the same tech, the cards are identical, surely they should be interchangeable in the same way USB drives etc are?

Be really careful filling it out; late submissions, submissions close to the deadline and extensions are points which contribute to a possible audit, according to an ex-coworker who did exactly that.

Josef bugman posted:Same here. Thank you Owl. I remind myself regularly that nearly all of my problems are caused by society and are not indicative of personal flaws, and that actually I'm doing quite well considering that. I keep saying it but one of the big benefits of leftism is you can correctly blame other people for your failings, good for your mental health in that regard. As for feeling better, mostly videogames and watching youtube, I like watching other people play games and seeing how they approach them, seeing their reaction to things. There's a concept called "passive multiplayer" that describes the way people can play games "together" by watching other people go through them, because there's a social element to it, you get a different perspective on something you might have experienced yourself.

Guavanaut posted:The SD standard is a bunch of different standards shoved into a common form factor and on top of that different devices allocate different amounts of mass storage addressing space depending on what they expect to get put in them. It's normally just an age thing though - the SD standard has been updated as miniaturisation (and price) has made it practical to stuff more and more in. It doesn't normally cost anything more in hardware or software* to make your device compatible with the 1TB ones which are available now than the 32GB ones which were as big as the standard allowed ten years ago, but you will normally have to redesign your device (or at least rewrite the firmware which may or may not be possible) to allow it, so loads of stuff will have a ceiling of whatever the standard said a few years before they were made. For a while you could get full-size SD cards that would allow you to partition them as multiple smaller cards and switch between them, to allow older devices to use them, but I've not seen one in a while. *The exception being if you need very high-speed access to large files (e.g. for video cameras) where you'll need considerably more on-board RAM and CPU for the interface as the size ramps up otherwise you get big bottlenecks.

From the manufacturer's view that's pretty much it yeah, they need to write something in the specs so people don't yell at them. If you're a consumer with a card and a thingy and wondering what happens when you put the one into the other, the maximum capacity specs may low ball it and may in some cases not be particularly close to what the device can work with.

Brexiteer friend logic. Me: can't find out if I'll need a Schengen or air transit visa after Brexit. Friend: we didn't need visas before we joined EU so why would we need them now? :Smdh: Hello, we're 45 years later, kids can't leave school at 15 now, half of 18year olds go to uni instead of 5%, jobs for life no longer exist, bins not being emptied for 3 weeks was a national crisis but is normal now, we've had the whole war on terror thing, and as our economy and national status will be that of a 'developing country' they'll want to make sure visitors have the incentive to go home again.

OwlFancier posted:He couldn't purge them, they're elected, and neither can any of the current leadership candidates, but open selections would be a good thing for ensuring the left keep a presence in the party and, potentially, a vehicle to start getting rid of the lovely ones. Purging the party also doesn't address the issue of how you actually win a loving a election. I guess Labour now have 5 years to work that out now.

Its going to be interesting what "Lads weekends" turn into post Brexit. Cant imagine many of those guys are gathered enough to get Visas to go to on their binge weekend and will probably have to settle for Blackpool again. Conversely, Ibiza might turn into a retirement community and a shitload of pubs in Prague are going to shut down.
